Precautions for use
These safety instructions must be respected to assure the personal safety and the environment of use. If
you do not comply with them, there is a risk of electric shock, explosion or fire.
If you use these instruments other than as specified or without observing the elementary safety rules, the
protection they provide may be compromised, endangering you.
The safety of any system which may include these leads or accessories is the responsibility of the
assembler of the system.
Each time before use, always check that the insulation of the leads or accessories is in good
condition. Any element whose insulation is damaged (even partially) must be removed from use and
scrapped. A change of color of the insulating material is an indication of deterioration.
The steady-state voltages, currents, and measurement categories are marked on the instruments, on
the cords, and on the accessories. Comply with these values.
Use specific individual safety protections when hazardous live parts can be accessible in the
installation where the measure is performed
Before using your instrument, check that it is in
good working order (for example, by measuring a
known dangerous voltage).
If the manual states how to replace the fuse(s) of your instrument, use only the recommended fuses.
Before replacing the batteries (rechargeable or not), disconnect the leads of your instrument.
The use of a measurement instrument, a lead or an accessory with a lower
category or voltage downgrades the use of the assembly (inst lead +
accessory) to the lowest category and/or operating voltage.
Using a measuring instrument in a category II or III or IV environment can be dangerous. In such
measurement environments, the operators must be trained and/or accredited and/or informed of the
safety measures to be taken.
Measurement categories:
CAT II:
Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the
low voltage installation
Examples: measurements on household appliances and portable tools.
CAT III:
Measurement category III is for measurement performed in the building installation
Examples: distribution boards, circuit-breakers, machine or industrial equipment with permanent
connection to the fixed installation.
CAT IV:
Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of the low-voltage installation.
Example: meters and measurements on primary overcurrent protection devices and ripple
control units.
Cleaning
Disconnect the leads or the test accessories
Use a soft cloth, dampened with soapy water. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry rapidly with a dry
cloth or forced air. Do not use alcohol, solvents, or hydrocarbons.
Do not modify the leads or accessories. Any non-compliant repairs can cause risks of electric shock
or burns.
